Question about d-votes

[quote=throatslasher]So, I've downvoted a few guides with seemingly no votes, but after the dust settles, their bar is still empty and it says 'new'. I love the new ratings system, but I think I found a flaw. So, if someone writes trash and gets 8 straight downvotes, it will still say new. If they get 8 downvotes and ONE upvote, then their score will be represented. Any fixes, or am I an idiot?[/quote]

[quote=Vynertje]I think the first few votes don't show immediately, but you can check the authors page itself to see the result.[/quote]

[quote=DKitten]Well, according to the post you made earlier on my guide, I should have 0% rating, since I don't think anyone has voted elsewise. But the rating still shows NEW in my profile. Meaning it probably requires a minimum amount for profile display AND a minimum amount for public display?[/quote]

[/quote] You need a minimum of 5 votes to get the "new" tag removed. Once it is removed, then you can see the real % on your own profile and a bar on your guide. However, throat states that the "new" tag remains if the guide has a 100% downvote ratio, which should be a bug (or the admins have some kind of evil plan :O)[/quote]

[quote=mastrer1000][quote=Meiyjhe] (or the admins have some kind of evil plan :O) [/quote] they did it so that people with 0% guides can't see that they have beaten my guide(although mine is obviously way worse than theirs :D)[/quote]

[quote=Mowen]Can you point out the guide with 8 votes that still says "new"?[/quote]
